Next Meetup: AI InTheRock
Wednesday, July 30th, 2025
This isn't a lecture — it's a casual, open-invite meetup for anyone curious about how AI is changing our world. Whether you're technical, creative, in business, or just interested — you're welcome here.
People come to learn something new, meet interesting people, and walk away with ideas and connections that matter.
July's Featured Speaker: John Eddy
Topic:
Where is AI going? The Next Frontier: AI's Role in Reshaping the World
Join us for an exclusive conversation with John Eddy, a strategic advisor at the intersection of venture capital, national security, and frontier technology. With a background spanning both government and the private sector, John brings rare insight into how AI is converging with the physical world—transforming infrastructure, defense, and global systems. As a partner in a VC firm focused on frontier tech, he sees this convergence not just as innovation—but as a generational investment opportunity to solve the world's most urgent challenges. Come ready to explore where AI is headed—and why the smartest bets are being made now.
